Top Ten of 2009 by John Boyer

It is that time to declare the Top Tens of everything, but I wanted to make our best of the best list a little interesting. I have pulled the numbers and lined up the top sellers of this year and thought I would give a little bit of info on each one. I’ll post them over the next few days so make sure to come back to see who wins the title of top trading product of 2009.

10. Think and Grow Rich-Napoleon Hill—This is one of the greatest financial books of all time without question. It is interesting to keep in mind the perspective from which it was written. Published in 1937, the US was still clawing its way out of the depression and this masterpiece offered the most important element of that recovery. Hope. Anyone can be successful and this book shows how. Still a huge influence today, its simple, direct advice and tactics are loved by traders and dreamers everywhere.

9. Strategies for Profiting on Every Trade-Oliver Velez—One of the most motivating trading educators in the business, Oliver Velez inspires his students to take action. This title is a perfect example of his ability to break down the trading steps and put his tactics to work improving profits. It is a strong favorite of traders because it make the concepts accessible and easy to act on.

8. FOREX Trading Using Fibonacci and Elliot Wave-Todd Gordon—This is no surprise to anyone familiar with Todd. A pleasure to watch with powerful information, this DVD course puts together a great mix of technical strategies with a great explanation of how it fits together. I like to say we knew him before he got famous as a frequent guest on Fast Money.

7. Candlesticks and Pivot Point Strategies-John Person—I think this is a trader that could take the name “Real Deal” from Holifield. When it is often tough to get solid education without hype, that is definitely not the case with John. In fact, I can’t even imagine trying to stop him from telling you how he trades. The consummate no holds barred, tell-it-like-it-is trader, John is truly genuine. Based on the number of traders that got this DVD on this list, you can bet his tactics work.

6.Big Money, Less Risk, Trade Options-Mark Larson—Is it that he has helped more traders than nearly any other presenter? His speaking schedule makes Obama look like a slacker. Is it his tactics are effective? I can tell you from looking at numbers for this list, people who choose his books and DVDs become dedicated fans. Bottom line, a great read that give traders access to option trading and the success it has brought to many looking for opportunities in today’s markets.

Make sure you come back over the next couple days to find out which great trading resources top the best of 2009.
